General - a small island north of Male'. This is a quiet and relaxing style Resort. No bands, DJ, loud music. One restaurant, one pool, one large bar and general seating area. White sandy beaches, beautiful water, very good 'house-reef' and sunsets. The island is mostly all white sand. The beaches and island common areas are raked daily, making the... More

We just returned from a stay at Helengeli and had some lovely dives and relaxed. This is not the place for luxury and fine dining and we went knowing that. The house reef is great and the dive operator is so well set up and you can do your own dives on the house reef or they run boat trips... More

I have to preface this by saying that anyone who really complains about a vacation in the Maldives will surely come across as rather spoiled, and probably with good reason. However, I also think that many people who dream of paradise might find better ones at a fraction of the price. Maldives appeals to many because it is exclusive. And... More

Just returned from 7 nights on Helengeli, booked through Maldives Scuba Tours. We had a wonderful time on this unspoilt corner of the Maldives. The rooms are comfortable, with an outside bathroom and are cleaned twice a day. The restaurant serves buffet meals three times a day, we chose half board and found that breakfast lasted us all day!

This was our first visit to the Maldives - and it was a great experience. We were met at the Male airport and escorted to a float plane for the ride to Helengeli. The short flight was a real treat as it allowed us to see the many islands and beautiful ocean of the Maldiives. As others have noted, most... More

This was our first visit to the Maldives in 20 years and we were keen to give our fellow travellers a taste of the 'old style' Maldives. Helengeli is totally unspoilt and as beautiful and captivating as the photographs and the last writer says. Do not go there if you want a loud and lively evening or water sports. Many... More

We were two Maldivian virgins- well not literally as we are British and have 2 adult children- but this was our first trip to the Maldives. We loved our 5 nights at Helengeli and concur with much of what has been previously reported. We do have some additional comments, 1) We stayed 1 night in a standard bungalow and 4... More

the best thing about this Island for an european Tourist is the fact that they dont have any Russian/Chinese Guest on their Island which makes this Island an exeption in the maledives and a great value. The resort is run by swiss management and most guest are swiss/scandinavian/german and austrian. The Island is a pure barefoot island, you dont need... More

The island is very small (800metre long) and very quiet. It is run by Swiss owners and is very popular with divers but would also suit those who want to snorkel and to have a quiet relaxing getaway. On arrival we were met by Manfred the manager who is very helpful and hospitable. We were then greeted with a refreshing... More
